Battle Rally

[quaint star]

The boon of multiple cakes

[fathom yacht]

I have like

5 total units with Roll cake lol

[fresh holly]

it's only net gain 400 if I buy the cup

[exotic flicker]

People don‘t spend them on apple and pizza because they want Cake

[quaint star]

I only bothered to get one

[ocean wren]

OK wtf another stage with instant poison

[fathom yacht]

I didn’t buy a single item the entire time

[quaint star]

Correction : Cake voucher

[ocean wren]

Seriously what is it with battle rally and poison

[fathom yacht]

Also Lucy is kinda free ngl

[sacred falcon]

I won't get cakes on units to get me more points that get me more cakes, seems pointless lol

[fathom yacht]

I just smashed her with shit execution on Very hard

[quaint star]

Just slap Status Immunity and Lucy is pretty easy

[exotic flicker]

That‘s more than enough, you can try something like NC Leaf + your most busted support + your most busted dps alongside

If it doesn‘t work, you are still sitting at 9k that‘s insane

[quaint star]

So far Anabel gave me the most trouble, but I haven't tackled a lot else

Like
1 Argenta
2 Anabel
1 Lucy

[exotic flicker]

It directly translates into a cake thanks to the sum so

[fathom yacht]

I got 2 Very hard anabel stages .-.

[reef magnet]

looking at my roster, Champion definitely isn't the worst option to get for a theme skill boost

[fathom yacht]

That was fun

[exotic flicker]

I got 3, 1 Lucy and I forgot the 5th

[reef magnet]

I can tank with pairs like Diantha or Steven

[fresh holly]

@exotic flicker I don't think it's the optimal here though

many were posting about doing hard mode instead

[quaint star]

Anabel is annoying because you can be restricted for debuffs depending on the role bonus

Like, you need some stellar double debuffer or you are not dealing any damamge since she keeps buffing

[reef magnet]

I think we can all agree, after Feb they need to speed up older EX roles, as well as releases of any Sprint/Field pairs, base or EX role

[quaint star]

You also have a high chance to get Burned versus Anabel

[worthy tusk]

Is there any harm if I have to blow the weekly ticket today?

[heavy fjord]

no

[jolly hearth]

Finally tech cake has some value 😂

[worthy tusk]

I got a horrid role making it impossible to do anything more than hard mode.....

[exotic flicker]

I mean if your choices are great for Anabel go for it, at the end of the day if it makes a difference depends on your options

[hybrid abyss]

SLEEP STALL IS SO GOOD

[worthy tusk]

So I can still get my cake today? I just won't get one in February?

[thick mauve]

Yeah tbh you don’t have to optimize everything, just play how you like

[reef magnet]

ss cyrus stonks go way up

[sacred falcon]

SS Steven's cake will make him crazy for this mode, he can be the Strike Tech or the Sprint Support

[fresh holly]

@exotic flicker I have every water unit in existance available in this run

Just not sure if the lack of bonuses is worth on 200

[quaint star]

SSSteven is definitely stellar in this mode.

Since his form change doesn't need MP

[exotic flicker]

You don‘t necessarily have to pay attention to 100% bonus type coverage if it hinders your clear too much, clearing it in the end is the most important and as long as you hit more than 4k averagely per run you are more than fine

It‘s as hard as you want it to be

[sacred falcon]

Wait until a Terrain Extender lucky skill so he can be all 5 roles

[fresh holly]

I'm going for highscore right now lol

[exotic flicker]

It‘s a mode that gains a lot of value out of enjoyment, this mode will stick permanently

[fresh holly]

This is not about "clearing"

[quaint star]

I think you need to stack at least some type bonus for later area

[reef magnet]

this mode is hella fun

[quaint star]

They will start hitting hard later on

[quaint star]

The problem is the limited attempts

[reef magnet]

if you agree I would recommend sending in feedback to let the devs know, its good to send in positive feedback for stuff you like

[worthy tusk]

Oh good all I know is this morning I was told was to rush and get the cake today before reset. And I keep getting screwed over rolls....

[quaint star]

And it's definitely not beginner-friendly

[worthy tusk]

Dark boost

[sudden flower]

Well I used my all 5 passes

[reef magnet]

everyone only ever sends in negative feedback but positive feedback is good to send in too

[worthy tusk]

Like eww

[sacred falcon]

I used NC Marnie the whole way through and with 10 stacks of Dark boost and 9 stacks of Rival boost she hits 6200 SpAtk, this mode is great lol

[thick mauve]

Yeah but it’s a free cake so

[urban ledge]

… I didn’t even know they can show up twice in the same run

GODDAMMIT

[worthy tusk]

It's really not, thankfully I have been around a while

[quaint star]

I still have one more pass. Gonna spend it next month

[worthy tusk]

Yeah I will have to use my weekly pass to get it. The points I don't use for cake tickets will carry over to next month right? Or do they expire?

[exotic flicker]

Well it‘s not like all Water Types are cutting it, what exactly is your most team optimal team looking like vs Anabel with all role bonusses vs Lucy

With no Tech or support the best options for Anabel are out of question , but NC Leaf can also do some heavy lifting if your Sprint and Strike options are mega, like Sprint Rosa / Aura Cyn

[thick mauve]

The shop will reset in a few hours

[quaint star]

As long as you are able to retain 6k per week, should be fine

Personally I am not too hot about

[sudden flower]

When will this exchange voucher return

[hybrid abyss]

Caitlin, Olivia, 1/5 Lance

[worthy tusk]

Do these automatically delete every month though when the shop resets?

[hybrid abyss]

ELECTRIC SUPPORT!?!? OH BABY

[reef magnet]

yeah no Supports for the UB fight is gonna be really bad especally if you don't have enough points, I got lucky with SSAC having Sprint for Palmer

[thick mauve]

No

They stay in your bag

[sudden flower]

This time Anabel did some dmg even with apple cup

[worthy tusk]

Oh phew so I don't lose anything

[exotic flicker]

Melody Rosa and Aura Cynthia are hardcarries for Sprint

[reef magnet]

I skipped Rosa for Gladion/LuSSa

[quaint star]

Right, I never got that easy bonanza level

[sacred falcon]

With a fun run of buying lots of items, I can see the power of the 50 point stat boosts now, they're kinda powerful for how cheap they are

[sweet mango]

caking archer for sprint/tech

[reef magnet]

granted I have enough to pity all 3 by the time half anni comes, but I might need all 3 of those for half anni

[quaint star]

Imagine having Archer

[reef magnet]

I didn't get the lucky stage either

[sweet mango]

i have 2/5 archer. do i get 3/5

[quaint star]

I got Photon, the most generic admin ever

smh

[sweet mango]

hey i did the select

22k

[sacred falcon]

Flying/Alola/Hail for this rotation, that's a lot worse

[reef magnet]

I think I'm just gonna stack my Champion theme buffs and try to power thru every fight

[quaint star]

Kahili time

[feral bay]

This is rough for us new folk who don't have any sprint or field roles 😦
I'm struggling getting 4800 a run only buying the 100pt boost and apple cup

[fresh holly]

unfortunately this was optimal

[quaint star]

Damn a death even with the apple? I thought that's not possible

[fresh holly]

I killed myself due to poison

just tanked the poison straight up lol

[sweet mango]

have 90/100 powerup tickets for 5 powerups so I need to do csmm early

[hasty marlin]

whats the ground weak ub gimmick

[sweet mango]

need to ex archer

[fresh holly]

the dath does nothing

[exotic flicker]

Aoe poison pretty much

[reef magnet]

tbf Cyrus has like no defenses and even takes damage using his TM

[fresh holly]

death*

[quaint star]

Poison everywhere. I had to use triple Support to beat it

[fresh holly]

gio hits so hard it really didn't matter on the apple cup

[reef magnet]

SSGio power boost when

[sudden flower]

If voucher exchange will reset evey month then it should reset today

[lofty gull]

I got Palmer stage 10

[dry ice]

Steel weak diantha in a city with sandstorm... who is that?

[hasty marlin]

what tank do i have for getting rid of poison

using ncred + bea i think bc im stuck on fighting stat up and its strike/tech boost

[quaint star]

OG Hilda

[sacred falcon]

Full Heal Barry

[quaint star]

Alternatively just slap Status Immunity on OG Misty

[hasty marlin]

wouldnt i still be fucked if she uses sludge wave

lol

[quaint star]

OG Misty has 30% chance to heal party

[hasty marlin]

is status immunity on ssac a bad idea lmao

nvm mine has hs1 i dont wanna replace that

[ocean wren]

it wouldnt change much

[finite tundra]

oh wow nc rosa + rei just beat palmer on hard mode and only x2 boost, no tms left

[reef magnet]

got anyone with status condition shield? who is your damage dealer?

[ocean wren]

cause this is hostile 9

[quaint star]

You know, I start to appreciate Nemona. At least she can give me some bonus

[reef magnet]

my Nemona managed to OHKO Aaron with her B move at 1/5

[quaint star]

Yeah, she can hit hard

[reef magnet]

Elec weak Aaron has Sentry Entry x2

I was surprised

she was only there to provide the Sprint bonus

[hybrid abyss]

oh my god that was so close....
Sona EX, BPGladion, 1/5 zLenora on Electric Weak Phoebe

[lethal widget]

Well I guess I don’t know how to play this shit, completed area 10 and only got like 5k things to exchange

[pseudo egret]

How does anabel ub work

Got her for VH

[fresh holly]

buy cup if you plan on doing that one lol

[urban ledge]

Not gonna lie my last run wasn’t too great but hell yeah cleaned out the shop of the items I cared about

[quaint star]

You need to debuff her just like Latias

[reef magnet]

or buy some abble juce

[pseudo egret]

Hmm

[worthy tusk]

Did almost everyone use 5 tickets not 4?

[pseudo egret]

I don't have support debuffers

Does it have to be all debuffs

[urban ledge]

I used 4 tickets to get all cake vouchers, 5 to get all 5 star powerups

[pseudo egret]

Or is it just buff - debuff must be less than 0

[cobalt furnace]

That’s a normal amount

[pseudo egret]

Because anabel keeps raising her stats right

[ocean wren]

[quaint star]

You need at least two debuffs or you're not dealing damagen

She can stack buffs real fast

Alternatively, apple since it debuffs her by 6

All stats

[urban ledge]

I can finally rest now haha

… ah crap I haven’t done Villa yet

[quaint star]

Took me 3 hours. Now I'm still drowsy

[sage hemlock]

Is it necessary to get the Apple Cup? And what's the most bonkers combo that go with the Cup? Like ex. unlimited B Thunderbolt

[hasty marlin]

just did a similar idea but with Sycamore instead

[urban ledge]

Apple Cup is not necessary most of the time

[quaint star]

Apple cup is for the "I give up" button

[urban ledge]

It’s just an emergency get out of rally

[quaint star]

You don't need it unless the area is just too brutal

[reef magnet]

I'm still on my second run so this might be a long night, so glad I took a nap earlier

[hasty marlin]

yea cups just a "I FUCKED UP" button

[pseudo egret]

Hmm

[quaint star]

Strike + Field versus Anabel, for example

[pseudo egret]

Would this work?

[sage hemlock]

I cheapened my run with rats sooooo... I'm just curious on unlimited damage lol

[hasty marlin]

One ticket leftover

[hybrid abyss]

8k points b4 last area... waitaminute WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT APPLE CUP HOLY CRAP

[hasty marlin]

2.4k pts over it

[urban ledge]

Don’t be tempted by it haha

[hasty marlin]

yeah its a "i fucked up" button get out of jail free* card

. . .
wtf is this theme bonus

Gym Leader Upgrade

[urban ledge]

Noice

[quaint star]

Unironically that opens a lot of options

[reef magnet]

yeah

once you actually look at your roster its not so bad

[hasty marlin]

ah yes only one limited

my favorite /j

[reef magnet]

I got Champion for my current one, and some non-support ones are even good for tanking, like Diantha

[quaint star]

Like, Wulfric helped me in Ice bonus. I can imagine enjoying Gym Leader boost myself

[urban ledge]

So for all of you guys that have done your runs, what did you get for your free stat boosts?

I got Grass Type x3, Electric Type, and Trial Giver

Yes the game is being funny and gave me grass 3 times

[quaint star]

Normal, Ice, Water and Rock

[fresh holly]

dark dragon electric ( on it now)

[quaint star]

That's why I didn't know Region and other theme is possible. I got all the elements

[urban ledge]

Oh yeah I heard about one guy getting Sinnoh

[quaint star]

Villain theme does sound rough

[reef magnet]

[hasty marlin]

Sinnoh > something > Electric > Fighting > Gym Leader

[reef magnet]

I'll be fine

[hasty marlin]

i forget what my 2nd one was tbh

[urban ledge]

… do I even have 10 villains lol

[finite tundra]

rn bug -> gym leader -> fairy

i quite liked the gym leader bonus

[urban ledge]

Oof bug and fairy

[finite tundra]

sprint and field on the second area already

[hybrid abyss]

wtf what's Palmer's UB?

[finite tundra]

"presync or die"

[hybrid abyss]

I keep getting trashed

WTF HOW DO I DO THAT WITH SUPPORTS?!?!

[hasty marlin]

bruhhh its argenta again and im stuck with GYM LEADER???

[urban ledge]

Don’t do it with supports haha

[reef magnet]

ssac and dawn carry

[urban ledge]

Accept that you can’t get maximum points all the time

[hybrid abyss]

broooo u gotta be kidding me rn

[hasty marlin]

what the fucking hell do i do vs argenta with gym leaders guys whos my gym leader save for that fight

[urban ledge]

Argenta huh

[hasty marlin]

[urban ledge]

You only need 1 gym leader to trigger the effect

[hasty marlin]

cause i dont got limited grass units

so its kinda a VERY iffy fight for me

rosa and ncred are both rolexd btw

[urban ledge]

Unfortunately I can’t help with Argenta, she beat me up lol

[hasty marlin]

yeah i almost died to her in my electric run

[quaint star]

Me looking at my failure to pull any of the admin outside of that guarantee : Nope

[hasty marlin]

oh right i had Galar as my 3rd, electric was 2nd

[hybrid abyss]

HEH?!?!?!!?! BRO I CAN'T DO DAMAGE

[hasty marlin]

ok save sstred for r8>r9>r10 chain, got it...

cause both 8 and 10 are field tech

[quaint star]

Stack on bonus damage

[hybrid abyss]

I really hope I can nuke with CRed

[urban ledge]

Sounding like you do need the Apple cup lol

You could always pick the Hard or Normal fight instead

[hasty marlin]

hey guys? is there a reliable mpless +acc other than Leaf between these and f2p?

got a Acc^ Power^ in my shop

[quaint star]

Generally you want to build your team like
(That one pair for the bonus you stack) + (Tank that fits the bonus) + (DPS that fits the bonus)

[quaint star]

Acc buffer is rather limited. BP Clemont is one

[hasty marlin]

doesnt he need mp to do it or

[quaint star]

OG Lillie works but I won't call her tanky

[worthy tusk]

I guess this game hates me? First round it gave me good stuff, second round I at least managed to salvage it by buying tons of stuff from the shop. But the last three have been type boosts.

[spiral dagger]

Do we have the chance on getting the Lucky Stage? 5 completed runs later, none appeared.

[quaint star]

Savescum MPR

[worthy tusk]

And nothing in the shop to buy either.....

[quaint star]

You know, like good old Villa days

[hasty marlin]

i guess im skipping this shop

[tame forge]

Pb

[hasty marlin]

lets see, need to pick a Tech Gym Leader for me to start from

[tame forge]

And I'm done till next month which is tomorrow

[quaint star]

Who was the area 10? I see no Appel

[tame forge]

I bought one boost and apple

[hasty marlin]

PFFT i only get like 1 stage with nywallace

[hybrid abyss]

WTFFFFFFF

[hasty marlin]

great

[tame forge]

It was thorton

[hasty marlin]

wonderful even

is brock budget enough or should i go budget further down than even BROCK for my first gym leader

[hybrid abyss]

I give up on mono support

[tame forge]

Mono support is fine when you buy a cake to someone like zerena or leaf or something

You get enough rally points and support cake is one of the best so

That's where my tickets went

[quaint star]

Tech Brock is nifty enough

[hasty marlin]

cause im doing mono tech for 1-3

[quaint star]

Any potion user is great to have

[urban ledge]

Remember to use trash units for your earliest fights when possible haha

[quaint star]

Define trash units

[hasty marlin]

yeah thats why im trying to figure that out

[quaint star]

Here I am using Wulfric in Area 8-9

[hasty marlin]

oh heres someone id literally never use elsewhere, hi og wallace

but he slow

[tame forge]

It did feel good to use otherwise forgotten units

Great mode

[urban ledge]

Haha yeah I’ve been dragging underpowered units to the top because I didn’t want to use up the good ones before UB

[quaint star]

I suppose we need to figure out how much stack of boost is enough

[hasty marlin]

i wanna save surge incase something needs -spatk

[quaint star]

I am afraid of stacking less than 5

[tame forge]

Idk what's up with my rallies but I had to use field and sprint units way too much

[urban ledge]

When the heck was the last time I used Lodge Sycamore and egg Vileplume and Victrebel

[tame forge]

So I had to use my really good units a lot

[quaint star]

It does feel easy once you get over 5

[hasty marlin]

ill just let Grant try to exist ive literally never used him outside of like 1 time in gauntlet

[quaint star]

Like, the enemies cannot even deal 3 digit damage versus you

[hybrid abyss]

bro I literally can't even do this

[quaint star]

He has a niche with 5/5 OG Cynthia, if I remember right

[urban ledge]

He does?

[hasty marlin]

dont own her

[urban ledge]

How so

[quaint star]

Perma Sandstorm allowing him to tank

[urban ledge]

Ohh right

[gentle maple]

Best one so far

[analog kayak]

What is negative status change?

[tame forge]

Nice

[urban ledge]

4/5 is enough then since that’s when Cynthia has Dustkicker

[tame forge]

8750 is a lot

Got some cakes on you

[urban ledge]

Oh shame you had to buy a lot of items

[quaint star]

Guess I need to decide who to cake to better my future runs

Any tier list for that yet?

[tame forge]

Pretty sure there is a cake priority chart

[urban ledge]

I am actually seriously considering giving Tech and Strike cakes to my supports LMAO

[hasty marlin]

bro tf else do i take for this shit lmao im never gonna be under weatherrrr

[tame forge]

I used zerena and sst red on every rally

[quaint star]

I know, but does it take Rally into consideration? Probably not

[tame forge]

So I highly recommend those

[hasty marlin]

why is his entire grid weather based

[quaint star]

Zerena is definitely good, period

[hasty marlin]

when he has no weather

[quaint star]

She just slaps

[hasty marlin]

[tame forge]

Good when you're stuck with mono supports

[urban ledge]

… huh

Lenora has EX Role

[quaint star]

Stacking stats shouldn't be bad. Not sure how those are calculated with the boost

[polar fable]

Ryuki does too

[somber prawn]

do you guys pick the zone boosts even tho you dont need it?

[heavy fjord]

I cant believe this actually worked.

[hybrid abyss]

palmer is so bad oml

[heavy fjord]

Summer Steven SWEEP

[hybrid abyss]

how the hell do you defeat him normally?

[somber prawn]

apple cup

[heavy fjord]

Also yeah I EX roled NC Blue now too

[tame forge]

Apple cup makes me feel like anabel must have felt against me the first round

[hasty marlin]

which of these can tank

[lethal widget]

How do I beat the fairy stage

How do I beat this shit

[quaint star]

What role is the bonus?

[heavy fjord]

What fight is this for

[urban ledge]

Tech: CCalem, Elaine, HViola, Proton, Lenora
Supports: Cerena, NC Leaf, Leon

Hmm

Honestly

[hasty marlin]

rounds 1 to 3 im doing mono tech

[urban ledge]

I’ll probably cake CCalem and either Cerena or NC Leaf

[quaint star]

We need more Sprint and Field cakers

[lethal widget]

Tech and support

[hasty marlin]

rn im vs ice weak drasna

i think

[heavy fjord]

Just drop lorelei or something in there then it does not matter.

[drifting mason]

Apple cup is must buy at the end ?

[quaint star]

Mina is an option as a dps

[heavy fjord]

No

[hasty marlin]

does ice weak drasna even have gimmicks i dont remember her

[urban ledge]

No apple cup is only an emergency exit button

Do not buy unless you absolutely cannot beat any of the final fights

[quaint star]

Apple cup is optional. I had 2 runs that I just brute forced (because I didn't know there was this item)

[reef magnet]

field + sprint is the worst

[somber prawn]

if you wanna experience the pain and suffering of UB all over again you dont need it

[heavy fjord]

Go viral toxic, Endurance

[urban ledge]

You know what’s worse

[hasty marlin]

even if you dont wanna you dont need it unless you REALLY fucked up

[quaint star]

It's worse than usual UB since you are role-locked

[urban ledge]

TWO OF THEM IN THE SAME RUN

[quaint star]

DeNA : Haha. Please pull more pairs

I'm surprised Chase isn't a Sprint or Field

[normal python]

Oh, even if Rosa was alive, I still would've gotten 900 points anyways

[hasty marlin]

holy FUCK thats a lot of passives

[urban ledge]

Wait he isn’t?

[lethal widget]

This stage is impossible

[polar fable]

Ig cuz elaine was a support too? Atleast he has sprint exr

[lethal widget]

My mons do no damage

[tame forge]

Haha so classic

[polar fable]

Support with sprint exr

[quaint star]

Support

[naive tendon]

is there a limit to the number of paurs you get?

[urban ledge]

Ah ok that makes more sense

[lethal widget]

And get 1 shot

[quaint star]

Stack-on-boost

[urban ledge]

You can use your entire roster

[tame forge]

F2p victor should have won a prize due to how many times I used him to do absolutely nothing

[heavy fjord]

effectively the limit is 30 though

[tame forge]

Maybe I'll ex him for the effort

[heavy fjord]

3 pairs per stage, 10 stages

[urban ledge]

BUT if you kick a unit out of your team they can’t join again

[quaint star]

You know that icon you start with? You are supposed to use a pair that shares that theme so you don't get wiped

[naive tendon]

a h

notex

[somber prawn]

some stages i just completely ignore role boosts

[urban ledge]

You also don’t get healed between fights so make sure to plan ahead

[dry ice]

Ok, so I have Lucy's UB rn

[tame forge]

You can afford to do that tbh

[quaint star]

I am wondering, but can we whittle down harder stages just like Villa?

[heavy fjord]

nope

[urban ledge]

Sadly no lol

[heavy fjord]

has to be all 1 run

[dry ice]

right now my team is Iono/Mafiagio/Hoxanne

[tame forge]

Mafiagio sounds so Italian

[quaint star]

Welp, guess we will need to take that apple often than not

[lethal widget]

Why are this guys doing no damage?

[heavy fjord]

anyway considering i unironically used Summer Steven to beat Darach just now im probably gonna ex the guy

[quaint star]

Let me see the main screen

[heavy fjord]

eventually

[normal python]

That's NY Lisia and Dawn's BC

[lost cliff]

If anyone has it on hand; what's the exact wording of Palmer’s S-Move: Sync Buff 3?

[lost cliff]

You dont have a flying type

[normal python]

I think it triples the sync buff after syncing IIRC

[quaint star]

Add a flying type

[lost cliff]

Well i know that, thats why I asked for exact wording lol, need it for a concept

[quaint star]

You will get double the stats

[dry ice]

ok, interesting..... Gioking does great damage, but Lucy does too much damage

[urban ledge]

Remember that Round 2-9 opponents have their stats multiplied equally to the number of the round

[quaint star]

Replace Kali with OG Skyla, for example

[urban ledge]

So these enemies have 7 times the stats they normally do

[plush magnet]

You get +3 PMUN every time you attack after any of your team syncs

[normal python]

Hmmmmm, I didn't know that

Oh well, that's what I get for assuming

[normal python]

With ground zone?

[quaint star]

You can buy the boost for 100 every new area to stack more stats

That's how you combat the harder areas

(Of course, I am sure someone will attempt naked run)

[urban ledge]

That’s why the initial free upgrade is critical to team building in Battle Rally

I know someone didn’t purchase any items

Let me see if I can find it

[drifting mason]

Is apple cup must have for the last battle?

[dry ice]

not even with ground zone

[urban ledge]

Oh wait I can’t search on Mobile LMAO

[dry ice]

doing like 20K damage on Lucy UB

[urban ledge]

Damn you Discord and your crappy updates

[quaint star]

I didn't for my first run At least up until Area 5 until I do some reading

[heavy fjord]

my first run was that

it was uh

an experience

[quaint star]

We got greedy. "Duh, of course I want more points!"

[normal python]

I purchased very few items, but one of them is the one that fully restores your team's HP

[heavy fjord]

nah i just wanted to see how doable it was

turns out, not too unreasonable

but not worth it

[dry ice]

So from what i'm seeing, Lucy will poison you constantly, get antitoxin

[normal python]

I barely managed Thorton with Crit: Power Up

[heavy fjord]

yes

[simple frost]

Hmm i think battle villa and battle rally should still be different threads o.o

[heavy fjord]

she has like hostile environment 10 sludge wave as her first move

[pseudo egret]

Yeah

[urban ledge]

You know who has built in antitoxin

[quaint star]

Yes, Lucy can be easily handled with a full antitoxin team

[pseudo egret]

If you can't antitoxin, get teamwide condition nullificstion

[normal python]

No

[quaint star]

Heck, I managed with 3 support and two got poisoned to death

Still won

[normal python]

Or use NY Lisia

[heavy fjord]

its me, i have it

[urban ledge]

The frog killed the snake LMAO

[normal valley]

I agree, this chat is really confusing when you look at the first message

[normal python]

Poison dart frogs exist tho

[quaint star]

Battle Villa is no longer relevant

[normal python]

Always has been

[quaint star]

Wait, do we still get one last time reward or it's gone for good?

[austere cipher]

I'm reading

[dry ice]

WHY DOES SHADOWBALL HIT SO HARD!?

[urban ledge]

One last reward

I still need to do it myself lol

[worthy tusk]

What time reward?

[quaint star]

Guess I'm gonna save it for a rainy day

[urban ledge]

Good investments honestly

[worthy tusk]

There's more rewards today?

[urban ledge]

What do you mean?

Villa?

[austere cipher]

So boys my first run which is it ok to bring sst n aura cyn?

[worthy tusk]

That ends today?

[urban ledge]

It’s permanently open now and you can get one last complete reward for clearing it

No Villa is always open now

No time limit

[austere cipher]

4hrs left

[normal python]

Do you want to aim for high points?

[urban ledge]

Battle Rally shop reset though, yeah that’s in 4 hours and 16 minutes lol

[austere cipher]

kinda?

[normal python]

Then you have to kinda use units that have the bonus for that fight

[austere cipher]

what's the optimal to buy the prio items on shops?

[normal python]

Well, if you get to Area 10, Apple Cup is an auto win

If you spot Crit: Power Up, definitely buy it

[dry ice]

OK I SEE NOW

[austere cipher]

does the bonus sprint and field covers the ex role?

[hybrid abyss]

Where's the information for Palmer's UB? I can't do jackshit against this guy

[dry ice]

You need to lower Speed on Lucy ASAP or else GG

[urban ledge]

Kill him before he syncs

[normal python]

Bonus covers both base role and EX role

[heavy fjord]

pinned ultimate battle guide in #1009557516369281075 should have stuff

[hybrid abyss]

my nuke literally does only half his HP.. wtf

[red ginkgo]

youre life ends ten stages from now

[austere cipher]

ok so this crit item power up any other items worth buying?

[hybrid abyss]

someone needs to send me a guide or some bs

[lethal widget]

I definitely don’t know how to play this thing

[urban ledge]

What does Crit:power up do?

[normal python]

The crit power up is like having CS10 for your team so yeah

[normal python]

+100% crit damage

[austere cipher]

also does shop refresh every area?

[hybrid abyss]

Should I just do the Hard stage instead? Palmer is driving me crazy

[urban ledge]

Oh yeah that’s a must buy lol

[hasty marlin]

gaming over here meanwhile, basically just soloing 3 stages

[heavy fjord]

most of the low cost permanent power ups are worth it, type, region themes for sure, stuff like +100% damage when a stat is raised is as well

[quaint star]

Battle Rally 101

1. Check what boost you get and make sure to add one pair that shares the theme in your team. Remember that a pair will be excluded from selection once removed from the team
2. Spend 100 per area to buy the same boost to stack more.
3. Try to abide to the bonus roles given. Don't feel bad if you only can check 2 pairs.
4. On Area 10, the shop will have a special Item, Apple Cup, that will make it easier at the cost of 500 points.

[urban ledge]

I love never seen that sadly

[quaint star]

That's about it?

[urban ledge]

Also I’ve never seen a Togepi stage

[hybrid abyss]

wtf? You think that's enough to double my sync nuke damage?

[normal python]

Yes

[urban ledge]

Can you apply role multipliers to the bonus stage?

[pseudo egret]

It's literally a 100% boost

Literally doubling your damage

[urban ledge]

Or will it always be just 600 points

[outer jasper]

Got it on round 9 luckily

[pseudo egret]

Like, literal literally

[hasty marlin]

yes you can

[dry ice]

OH NO, LUCY SIDES HAVE ROCK SLIDE

[normal python]

Crit Power Up only costs 50 points too

[hasty marlin]

and its HIGHLY advised to

[simple frost]

Its insanity lmao

[urban ledge]

Hot damn

[quaint star]

So it's literally bonus stage? Damn I wished I got one

[normal python]

If you have Apple Cup + Crit: Power Up, you become the very hard Area 10 level

[tame forge]

Btw don't forget to actually use your tickets before they expire on reset time

[urban ledge]

Wait the tickets also expire?

[dry ice]

Ok, lucy seems easy ngl

[tame forge]

Yes the tickets expire

[hybrid abyss]

should I instantly go for apple, or should I try beating palmer with crit+ first?

[hasty marlin]

ghetsis please get mpr

[austere cipher]

oh so you can't always get it dang

[tame forge]

Wait the exchange does

[hasty marlin]

[tame forge]

I'm not sure the tickets themselves expire

[quaint star]

At the cost of points

[heavy fjord]

the exchange expires, the tickets should be fine

[normal python]

Well, I barely lucked out on Thorton with only having Crit: Power Up

[austere cipher]

I thought it was suppose to drop once

[urban ledge]

The medals are fine right?

[heavy fjord]

if they did they would almost certainly have a disclaimer and i havent seen anything like that

[heavy fjord]

they should be

[tame forge]

The medals should be fine it's the points I was thinking about

My bad sir

[lethal widget]

How do I beat this thing?

[normal python]

Crit: Power Up only costs 10% of Apple Cup

[worthy tusk]

This mode started fun but giving us 24 hours to grind a candy was not wise. I feel like I'm having a stroke from this....

[tame forge]

Use a flying type character on your team

[urban ledge]

It’s only 50 points? Damn

[normal python]

What is?

[quaint star]

Apple Cup does offer other benefits for that hefty cost tho

[lethal widget]

Im doing that and everything gets one shot

[urban ledge]

Crit power up

[worthy tusk]

Doing this 5 times sucks and I have been screwed 4 out of the 5 times.

[normal python]

Yes

[urban ledge]

You may need to purchase further boosts from the shop

[tame forge]

Well the team itself needs to be good

[urban ledge]

Or fight the normal or hard fights

[quaint star]

That team should work

[tame forge]

Also take note if the enemy has something like healthy advantage 8 or something

[hasty marlin]

Grant and lord helix vs ground koga: you thought you could DO ANYTHING, koga?

[tame forge]

And play around that

[quaint star]

Like you need to buy more Flying boost to stack it

[lethal widget]

Work how? Everything gets one shot

[quaint star]

Have you considered buying more Flying boost in shop?

each boost = 100% more stats

[tame forge]

Or another boost and try to stack

[normal python]

Where are the UB gimmicks?

[hasty marlin]

bruh stop giving me terrain/zone reliant upgrades game stop it i dont like that

[quaint star]

#1009564564821639379 message

[tame forge]

Flying isn't a great type on its own so if you get access to something like psychic or electric that'd be really good

[hasty marlin]

i need move damage but im getting shitty ones!

[quaint star]

Flying has OG Skyla. That's not the worst yet

[urban ledge]

Same as normal for each fight, but Hard fight will have 1,5 times their normal stats and Very Hard will be twice their normal stats

[hasty marlin]

[tame forge]

That's true but not much else ig

[quaint star]

Ground boost. Now that's a boost

[tame forge]

Ethan is nice

Since guaranteed mpr

[pseudo egret]

The first thing you do is pivot away

[quaint star]

OG Blue can still wreck things

[pseudo egret]

[kindred glacier]

i used up all my tickets and never saw a lucky stage
how rare is it?

[forest tendon]

hmm I only got 5100 medals when I finished... that's not very good is it?

[tame forge]

I got villain theme earlier

[lethal widget]

Nah I quit

[pseudo egret]

Half of all LAdv are villains

[lethal widget]

This is. Bullshit mode

[urban ledge]

I didn’t see it either in all 5 of my runs

[hasty marlin]

ok ghetsis is gone, out of tech city for a bit

[severe bronze]

uh

[tame forge]

Yeah I ended up using cyrus and a couple gios

[quaint star]

I managed to do good with Dennis, but yeah, Villain theme might be annoying

[tame forge]

And lusamine

[hybrid abyss]

alr so having crit+ & 300-400% unova boost shouldbe fine theoretically, right?

[urban ledge]

Question is do you even have 10 villains to split between all rounds LMAO

[hasty marlin]

...uhhhhhhhhhh wtf was THAT

[tame forge]

You can repeat a lot

F2p support gio is clutch

[quaint star]

I re-used Dennis in 3 areas. You can do it

[severe bronze]

discord bug

[jovial furnace]

Villain theme isn't a problem in itself, if it asks sprint or field tho

[quaint star]

He keeps howling

[jovial furnace]

Do we even have a villain sprint?

[tame forge]

Just pull variety gio

[austere cipher]

wtf

[quaint star]

Apollo

[tame forge]

Yeah one of the variety jobbers

[austere cipher]

I'm about to exp this kek

[tame forge]

Uh archer

[jovial furnace]

Bruh

[forest tendon]

how are people doing this without using the see all scope at the beginning? how do you know what units to save??

[jovial furnace]

[kindred glacier]

i think is if you got more than 4800 a run is enough to buy all the tickets in the shop
i average around 6k per run

[tame forge]

Another one of them prob got sprint role since they all have it

[jovial furnace]

I need to try without scope but scope is too good

[quaint star]

You just roll with it like usual rogue-like

Scope also costs 300

[urban ledge]

Here’s the secret

I DON’T WHOOOOOOOO

[pearl lion]

weirdly enough the normal upgrade isnt the worst if you can use gladion that round

[outer jasper]

People are saying to use all of the rally passes today right?

[urban ledge]

Yes

[quaint star]

Normal has OG Leaf. She's solid

[urban ledge]

The rally shop resets monthly

[quaint star]

I also used Hugh to tank

[urban ledge]

And well… it’s the 31st lol

[quaint star]

Hey, 100% heal every stage? Don't mind if I do!

[pearl lion]

normal striker round tho... that one is just plain miserable

[hybrid abyss]

this clearly shows how vullshit Palmer is in rally

[outer jasper]

If I got the free cake then I’m fine right?

[urban ledge]

Anyway, back to bullying Villa

[quaint star]

[urban ledge]

Yeah if you got all 20 vouchers you’re fine

[quaint star]

Definitely aim for the cake vouchers. The rest are fluffs

[hollow isle]

I've found some patterns in how the roles are sorted for each area

if you're lucky, I may be able to tell the orders, but depends on the first 3 areas

[austere cipher]

pog u

[severe bronze]

this would’ve not happened if they let me use hop

[reef magnet]

need field/sprint, but also a champion for the theme, there's only 1 that has that since I don't have rosa or nate

[dry ice]

SO LONGEH UH LUCY. (No Apple Cup used, had 4 attack Power Ups)

Unfortunately, i'm 17/20 on the role cake coins...

[austere cipher]

does ss cynthia carry 1-10 or do I bring her later?

[tame forge]

Ssa cynthia w sprint role was the goat today, her and rosa

[kindred glacier]

i think pairs that have unlimited mp and lowering opponent states are best to use

[quaint star]

Oh, so it's decided in the first 3 runs? I doubt we can manipulate it more tho

Not like you want to reset after a failed run

[severe bronze]

now i kinda want to rolex calem

[sweet mango]

do item effects stack?

have dark 5 villain 3

[dry ice]

yes

[kindred glacier]

yes

[tame forge]

Yes

[sweet mango]

thanks

[quaint star]

I swear. These area 10 has like 200k HP

Or even more

[tame forge]

More

[sweet mango]

EZ

[tame forge]

Depends on the ub

[dry ice]

Because they do???

[sweet mango]

All roles

[severe bronze]

whats lucy gimmick btw?

havent met her yet

[dry ice]

oh right, here.

[quaint star]

Aoe poison

[urban ledge]

I hate it when a rally run keeps switching roles

[tame forge]

Poison poison poison poison

[hollow isle]

is not manipulable, but can be helpful to guess the stages without using the scope

[urban ledge]

Also you need to reduce her speed

[hollow isle]

but for that, I need more full-rally images

[austere cipher]

Really grabing that Hisui duo next rerun

[kindred glacier]

i got lucy twice, had to use electric blue to heal the aoe toxin

[quaint star]

Hmm, I might try to save some next reset

[austere cipher]

understandable

[dry ice]

Lucy and Palmer Battle information

[tame forge]

Ub is basically a victory lap with the apple, getting there spending few points is the challenge imo

[quaint star]

Lucy can be at least be destroyed with Lucky Skill. Anabel however, I hate her

[fathom yacht]

I would make the argument that Rosa’s the best unit period for Rally

[severe bronze]

palmer basically wants you to presync it or else whole team died

[kindred glacier]

what's anabel gimmick

[quaint star]

Latias passive

[tame forge]

Override her sun turn 1

[severe bronze]

need rain and lots of debuff

[fathom yacht]

Being a bi-

Having sun up

[quaint star]

Your tank gets burned too

[fathom yacht]

Anything that’s not Blue better have Flameproof

[undone fractal]

Sun, constant stat boosts that passives allow her to tank

Aka pain and agony

[tame forge]

Calem has flameproof

Iirc

[fathom yacht]

Go into UB anabel, and let her use a move under sun

[quaint star]

Anabel "Sorry, but the bonus is Strike and Field"

[fathom yacht]

The sheer ridiculousness of the screen when you do will be wild

[tame forge]

Just throw an apple at her

[hybrid abyss]

Does anyone know the point difference between Hard vs Very Hard?

[quaint star]

100/200/300 point

[kindred glacier]

at least now they let us save lucky skill, would still be a pain in the ass to roll for it though
imagine stopping the battle just to go roll for lucky skill

[sudden heron]

Remember people idiots like me still choose to play this fucking game

[quaint star]

That's the default without adding multiplier

[quaint star]

Damn man, should have stacked on Fairy boost

[tame forge]

It was fun

[urban ledge]

?

[quaint star]

Yeah, I definitely enjoyed this mode. Gets the nogging going

[urban ledge]

I don’t see what’s wrong with that screen

[tame forge]

I will say I'm not a fan of resetting for mpr

[urban ledge]

Other than unused Stamina

[tame forge]

But that's on me for being stingy with points

[quaint star]

I don't even do it

[dry ice]

anyways, 3 runs with 17/20 Vouchers I say is a W in my book

[urban ledge]

Yeah same I don’t reset for MPR here

Because the game likes to screw with me and change the roles for bonus points LMAO

[kindred glacier]

same, just use it and dump the pair

[tame forge]

I did it when trying to beat it without spending points

[pseudo egret]

Hmmm do attack boosts not boost the sync damage?

[sudden heron]

And used it on what unit? Lodge Lillie?

[pseudo egret]

Now that I'm looking at it, it looks a bit suspicious haha

[urban ledge]

Do you have SS Mina?

[tame forge]

Don't trash talk my girl lodge lillie

The goat

[dry ice]

the best tactic i found was just increasing your attack, 4 stacks can easily take on a UH Ultimate battle

that's all you need

[sudden heron]

Already used her

[quaint star]

stacked boost with one "bad" pair >>> no boost

[kindred glacier]

btw you can click on the nurse in the shop and she would have different animation

accidentally click on it

[tame forge]

Buy the apple btw it's more than enough

[dry ice]

calling her it

[kindred glacier]

LMAO sorry i mean her

[quaint star]

You are going in with 300 Def/SpDef while I am going in with 1500 Def/Spdef, for example

See the difference?

[dry ice]

I'm about to make a massive copypasta on the apple cup

[sudden heron]

Also retiring doesn't count as a finish

[kindred glacier]

good to know

[hasty marlin]

i mean, you retired, you didnt finish, you quit

not surprising

[timid hound]

Question: do sync pairs get auto retired or something after X areas? Because I have sync pairs that didn't faint or anything but they're greyed out

[quaint star]

Did you remove them?

[hasty marlin]

No, only when swapped out

or dead

[timid hound]

Removing them renders them unusable?

[hasty marlin]

yep

[tame forge]

Yes

[quaint star]

They clearly stated that

[hasty marlin]

the game TELLS you this going into a stage

[timid hound]

Oops desu

Time to ignore role bonus

[tame forge]

Happens

[timid hound]

Without choice

I've gotten 3 field-sprint now this is malding

[sudden hull]

tfw you get support field against roark bc

[quaint star]

I wonder how much you can realistically take with a same broken team

Say, SS Hau + SST Red and maybe one slot for the boost

No care about role bonus

[tame forge]

I'd probably use rosa along with red, then something like leaf

Get all roles in

Wait missing a striker

[timid hound]

NC Rosa hasn't left my team yet

[sudden hull]

roark bc is really fucking hard for no reason and i dont like it

[tame forge]

Maybe ash then

[hasty marlin]

btw pyro balls animation is fun

[quaint star]

Damn, a team with all 5 possible roles would be tight

[austere cipher]

So do I spam ss cynthia 1-10 kek. How good is nc blue ex role Im considering also calem

[tame forge]

Sst red, nc blue and nc rosa all caked

[quaint star]

Strike and Support are thankfully common roles so they are not that special

[sudden hull]

am i forced to use nc blue

[tame forge]

[sudden hull]

for round 2

cuz roark bc is actually really rough and i dont know what to do

[tame forge]

Surprisingly I haven't used blue once

I kept saving him

[austere cipher]

This kek

[drifting mason]

On the final battle and I can’t decide to either buy some cheaper items and risk buying it for nothing.. or drop 500 on the apple and guarantee the win

[sudden hull]

sst red and nc blue = death

[dry ice]

"Oh? you're going to buy the apple cup for 500 points? why though?
you can stack a few Attack boosts and do just fine, you're wasting your overall point total by spending that much for an overkill. You could be spending those points on something better like role cake coins, or 5* powerups, but noooooo, you're too scared to do the UH Ultimate battle without it.
Even if you think the battle is too tough, you can do the Hard version with no attack boost and do just fine.

If you use an Apple Cup for Battle Rally, that isn't a W, that is a Crutch, and I'm disappointed in you."

[sudden hull]

even without attack buffs

[reef magnet]

just had to use a 1/5 Fall Allister for a striker

[sudden hull]

ugh

i hate that they can pull from really recent battle challenges

[quaint star]

give it a try first without the apple. Only throw in the towel when you just cannot win

[sudden hull]

roark is genuinely hard

especially with support field boosted

[tame forge]

Used in all of them don't even care

[dry ice]

rip that 750 points, for a measly 250

[hasty marlin]

mannnn ssac was so fun but she gone now, no sprint or support bonus

[reef magnet]

is 6 Champion theme buff too much?

[hasty marlin]

was fun using her with gloralt

[tame forge]

Best I could do was 600 points used

[dry ice]

i feel like 4 attack boosts is all you need

[hybrid abyss]

ah... I could probably pull some stupid bs if I use SSTRed + crit up

[tame forge]

I tried to do only apple

But the ladder was brutal

[sudden hull]

sst red has clutch critical

[quaint star]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFJqOlYaJbs Literally this

[dry ice]

4 attack boosts = 200 Points total

[sudden hull]

do you mean attack

[half sonnet]

Field + Sprint boost is pain

[sudden hull]

anyway 2/5 sst doesnt get anything right

[tame forge]

When it's time for victor and horse to do absolutely nothing

[quaint star]

But really, that's a joke. Take the apple when it's just not possible to win

[tame forge]

[timid hound]

Is Area 6 a difficulty spike or is Raihan just that strong

[drifting mason]

I did I lose against Annabel first sync. I could spend 150 points to but if I don’t win after that I might have to spend the 500

[sudden hull]

what raihan fight

like what mon is he using

[quaint star]

Imagine each area adds a 100 strength

[hasty marlin]

anyone remember which fight this is and the gimmick for it

[sudden hull]

uh?

what the hell

i dont remember this lmfao

[timid hound]

Ahh ok that helps puts things into perspective

[hasty marlin]

bug, grass, water

weaks

[half sonnet]

When you've already used Victor and Horse for a different stage

[sudden hull]

uh

[sudden hull]

i think this was an sc battle challenge

[sweet mango]

do we have to use the item effect upgrade units or can we use whatever?

[quaint star]

He just stands there.

[tame forge]

Time to cake sst red then

[timid hound]

My NC Rosa gets 2 shot by sludge wave lmao

[dry ice]

You Apple Cupped not only the battle but yourself, You didn't grow, you didn't improve, you took a shortcut and gained 250 points. You experienced a hollow victory. More was risked and less was gained, it's sad that you don't know the difference.

[sudden hull]

i think this is an old bc

[hasty marlin]

that sounds about right but i dont remember the gimmick lmao

[sudden hull]

it shouldnt be that hard

assuming you are using type buffs

[timid hound]

[tame forge]

Not even menacingly

[hasty marlin]

so idk if i can get away with brock or not

[timid hound]

Aight fk role bomus

[sudden hull]

i think the gimmick is just debuff spam

[timid hound]

I don't need that x1.50 multiplier

[sudden hull]

also

support + field

i dont know what to do here

[timid hound]

kekw

[half sonnet]

Already caked NC Red and Rosa today

[sudden hull]

i tried using bugscy

got killed for 1.3k with head smash

[tame forge]

I did red, leaf and someone else I forgot

[sudden hull]

with vigilance

and uh

my very hard round 10 is anabel

so apple cup for me

[hasty marlin]

uhhhh i think i have to use reds tm up here

[sweet mango]

do we have to use units with the continuous item effect upgrades?

[hasty marlin]

thats concerning

[reef magnet]

do you think stage 7 is a good time to start using the OP champion pairs like NCRed? I know I wont need Red or Marnie for the UB fights at least

[sudden hull]

if you dont wanna get outscaled by the stages yes

[sweet mango]

fairy and hoenn

i have 3/5 ss wally

[sudden hull]

yeah theres no reason to not go for the stat buffs

[dry ice]

so overall, Current Ultimate battle ranking
From Strongest
to weakest

Palmer (Fighting weak)
Anabel (Water Weak)
Argenta (Grass Weak)
Thorton (Fire Weak)
Lucy (Ground Weak)
Darach (Rock Weak)

[sudden hull]

is argenta that annoying

[dry ice]

you need to rebuff her twice.

she gets rid of rebuff at 50% hp

[sweet mango]

wonder what i can use

is the shop updates random?

[quaint star]

Okay, story time

I had 24700 from 4 runs, so I spent on the cake role. And right after that, I instinctually picked 1 more 5-star power up, but since the cake voucher was sold out, it got resorted to bottom. And I exchanged for 10000 Orbs.

PSA - Don't be me.

[hasty marlin]

thank god for fighting form gloralt existing btw

[sudden hull]

you do know it resets tomorrow right

also uhh

what do i do?

[hasty marlin]

boooo strike support brock and gloralt die

[sweet mango]

are the shop updates random?

[sudden hull]

im so lost cuz halloween 2023 bc just kills me

[hasty marlin]

boooo

[sudden hull]

semi random

[half sonnet]

Fairy my behated

[sudden hull]

the type and region dtat boost will always stay the same iirc

[sweet mango]

fairy and hoenn upgrade

[quaint star]

Mostly random but most of the time you get the boost you start with. Stack more on it

[sweet mango]

why no ss wally cake role

[reef magnet]

Lisia gaming

[timid hound]

Do I abandon NC Rosa for role bonus or not

[dry ice]

i usually try to do two units with a boost and keep one I want to keep

unless it's Sprint/Field, then I just do one

[timid hound]

Acc ya no screw role bonus

[austere cipher]

Oh my kek

[foggy harness]

Take a look at how many fucking field and sprint roles there are in this run

[fathom yacht]

I don’t usually, as weird as it sounds

[hollow isle]

should be 3

[reef magnet]

they really need to add more available sprint/field pairs, riley is nice but he and victor aren't enough at all

[dry ice]

I'm so mad, I have yet to even get a lucky stage

[reef magnet]

I have a ton of the limited ones too and they're uhhh

[fathom yacht]

The 3 roles that Rosa doesn’t occupy are Strike Tech and Field, and those 3 roles overlap A LOT

[foggy harness]

I had two whole rounds without field and I had three rounds with both sprint and field

[hollow isle]

or well, 2 Sprint/Field

[timid hound]

I suppose but she's so good

[foggy harness]

What the actual fuck

[hollow isle]

but 3 areas with Sprint

[fathom yacht]

Field units almost all have either strike or tech, and you only need 3 roles per stage

[quaint star]

I suppose it evens out with the bonus stage?

[austere cipher]

Nc hoenn / johto incoming kek

[foggy harness]

I don’t think that evens out but that was appreciated

[fathom yacht]

So you can get a unit that double dips reliably, then plop a random striker or tech to get your 3 roles for the stage

[tame forge]

My luck was pretty bad too

In one of the rallies 8/10 stages had field

[fathom yacht]

And Rosa doesn’t need to have either role to do that

[tame forge]

Two of which were sprint field

[foggy harness]

This is actually insane

[sweet mango]

Which fairy should I use?

[foggy harness]

7 for me but 3 had the double 🤝

[sudden hull]

ss wally or lisia

[fathom yacht]

That one interaction is actually why i don’t like Blue before Area 9. If you play Blue and you roll Sprint Field, you’re fucked

[sweet mango]

ny or regular lisia?

[fathom yacht]

And if you roll it twice? Have fun with that

[tame forge]

Do we even have a sprint f2p unit btw

[fathom yacht]

You’re either dropping blue for points, in which case get cooked by UB, or you lose too many points and use weaker units, forcing Blue to use TM

[hasty marlin]

not until the 19th

[fathom yacht]

or roosts

[tame forge]

That's hilarious

[timid hound]

Is there a specific stage where there's a very clear increase in strength or does the increase per stage remain consistent?

[still wren]

Is Classic Red good in this format

[timid hound]

The "Aight yall break out SSTRed" stage

[fathom yacht]

Uh the first 3-5 aren’t bad

Once you reach 5-6, you need to start hitting hard or packing a flincher

[tame forge]

I felt a difficulty spike whenever I got over a bracket

So stages 4 and 7

[timid hound]

Bracket?

Ah

[quaint star]

Any buddy move pairs without MP is good since we don't need to worry about spamming

[tame forge]

Or was it 8

Either way

[hasty marlin]

It’s kinda random

[fathom yacht]

Yeah stage 3-4 is a spike but a good roster doesn’t care

5-6 is rough and then 7-8 SUCK

[hasty marlin]

When I see this I break it out

[timid hound]

Gotchz

[hasty marlin]

i just play into the bonus points

[tame forge]

Don't be shy to spend your points btw

[quaint star]

Break out in a dance?

[fathom yacht]

SS Lyra time

[hasty marlin]

dont own sslyra lol

[fathom yacht]

If you get a string of like 3 techs in a row that’s gg

[timid hound]

Oops I forgot to sync

[hasty marlin]

dont own ANY grass limiteds

[fathom yacht]

Ouch

[quaint star]

I used Lodge Serena for Tech Flying

[fathom yacht]

I would put lyra in like

[quaint star]

She did the job for me

[fathom yacht]

Top 5 units in the game for this mode

[quaint star]

Which Lyra?

Summer?

[fathom yacht]

Celebi

[dry ice]

So, Since we finally had a full day of Battle rally, what's everyone's thoughts?

I personally love it.

[quaint star]

Yeah, I enjoy it

[reef magnet]

ooooh my god a second field+sprint combo

[drifting mason]

So how bad of a points loss is it to do hard instead of very hard. Like after the multipliers and all that (mine is 2x)

[timid hound]

I love it lol

Feels like a proper roguelike

[quaint star]

It has the right amount of difficulty but not overbearing like HS

[tame forge]

It's definitely a huge improvement from villa

[fathom yacht]

It’s a big loss

[carmine glade]

A nice breath of fresh air

[half sonnet]

womp womp

[fathom yacht]

But you can take it on area 10

[quaint star]

High Score is like "Haha, hope you reset until they stop using high damage moves"

[fathom yacht]

You go from 750-900 down to 500-600

Per stage

[dry ice]

i had 1050 at one point

[reef magnet]

does Argenta want Mix Red? I might need to use him before I go to stage 10

[tame forge]

Deoxys was already so good, can't wait for him to have support role

[sweet mango]

Caked akari and ssacynthia EZ

[tame forge]

Insane unit for rally

[carmine glade]

High score is a pain for the types that have no pairs

[fathom yacht]

It’s a bad idea unless you do it on area 9+

[sweet mango]

All roles again

[dry ice]

Argenta wants Adaman

[quaint star]

I used SS Acerola and M Red versus her. Still took forever

[reef magnet]

I'm on Stage 8 rn

[desert venture]

I think Adaman may work better since he nullifies Argenta’s rain

[hasty marlin]

volkner is SUCH a savior when im low on gym leaders to abuse

[reef magnet]

I have him but 1/5

[fathom yacht]

Argenta is meant for adaman I believe

[pearl lion]

bruh this shit is just UB

[hasty marlin]

that work well with double red

[pearl lion]

but worse

[fathom yacht]

But the new UBs are ez af compared to the old ones

[timid hound]

Hm how many points should be a good threshold per clear of rally if anyone has a figure?

[tame forge]

It's way easier

[drifting mason]

More than like 500-650 points loss u think?

[dry ice]

use him still @reef magnet you need to rebuff her twice. once at full Hp, the other at 50% HP

[foggy harness]

The last one is also field NO WAY

[pearl lion]

Not with my current remaining roster

[fathom yacht]

No you’re losing 250-300 per stage

[quaint star]

Hey at least Strike and Support

[foggy harness]

I can’t keep doing this

[desert venture]

either get the Apple Cup or build up item boosts throughout the Rally to trivialize the UBs lol

[hasty marlin]

“Oh what sta— FUCKING HELL GET OVER HERE ROSA”

[foggy harness]

8 field stages and 3 of them also had sprint

[drifting mason]

Ah ok I’ll take it then if it’s cheaper then the apple

[fathom yacht]

You can do it once or twice but don’t get used to it or you’ll suffer

[quaint star]

Sometimes you need both because the role bonuses suck
